Think about it. How will anyone know what to do in the last days?

The late Keith Green and his wife Melody founded Last Days Ministries in the 80’s. Keith told people that he believed he would have met Jesus sooner if not for the Christians who led double lives. Ouch. And Keith determined not to be one of those Christians.

About Lift the Cross of Jesus!

My day job is writing--I'm an author and publisher of a number of books. More on that later. But there is nothing of greater importance to me than the early morning hours I spend with the Creator of the Universe. Although He knows everything there is to know, His greatest delight isn't to give us knowledge, but to give us love.
